Use a soft cloth or sponge dipped in water or a mild detergent to clean the door surface regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or chemicals that may damage the surface.

Moisture control

Handle with care

When opening and closing the door, avoid slamming it or using excessive force. This can cause damage to the door frame or hinges.

 

Inspect regularly

Check the door regularly for any signs of wear or damage, such as scratches, dents, or peeling. If any issues are found, address them promptly to prevent further damage.

Types of PVC Thermofoil Door
 

Flat or Matte: Matte means it has a flat or dull sheen, which doesn't reflect light much.

A downside with matte finishes is it can sometimes make kitchens feel smaller. Even if you're going for a cozy feel, a tiny kitchen feel is more challenging for resale.

 

Glossy: Glossy PVC Thermofoil Door are sleek and shiny, designed to reflect light around the room. Glossy cabinets are a great option if you're working with a small space since reflecting light helps the area feel bright and airy, even if it's relatively small. It's a similar effect to hanging a mirror in a small room, making the space feel larger than it is. Unfortunately, glossy surfaces show dirt, imperfections, and scratches easily.

 

Textured, Wood Grain: PVC thermofoil door with an imitation wood grain have a plastic-like, unreal look that can feel out of place in a traditional kitchen. They are noticeably fake at first glance. With solid-colored PVC thermofoil door, it's harder to detect that they are not wood.
